I want blizzard to release SC:BW with better graphics. so basically I want them to: - remove all the newbfriendly stuff - bring back the amazing units from BW - get rid of the weird AI, i.e. get rid of the fucking useless deathball crap. and so on
no wonder SC2 is dying before the addon is even released. sorry to be so negative, but me and my team have no motivation whatsoever to play anymore.

I'm personally only interested in in-game clan and tournament support, and don't personally understand most of why these issues are so hot. But I'm glad that people are concerned enough to speak up. Maybe? But, on the other hand, I don't see why there couldn't be a simple addition of having tournament controls that allowed for some sort of ticket or subscription payment system for viewing the tournament itself, and maybe being able to extend that to the players if they wish. For that matter I don't see why that couldn't be worked in for just following the pro's themselves (or anyone really). Advertisement controls might be a little more tricky, at least from a business model point of view, as in the why/how would they support it, but I think still doable. Stream companies might not like it, but I think there is still a lot of casual viewership out there that doesn't own the game. I think it's a great consideration though to factor into the ultimate solution for this, so thanks for bringing it up. I don't see that it should be a deal breaker though.
or do what Heroes of Newerth does; simply open a twitch stream inside the game when u want to watch ingame-crap. that way the streamers still get the ad-income.

Well, maybe that's the form it takes, but the option that takes away is watching games that aren't streamed. It doesn't really change the "what we (I) want Blizzard to do" it just changes "how it might be accomplished".

I chose LAN, but I don't know whether or not it will be a step to solve what I really want. I think I want ladders to be able to be built upon maps or mods. Imagine if you could take sc2promod and attach a ladder onto it. And then sc2OurModIsBetter comes along and a ladder is attached. Popular mod ladders would gain a following, the "market" would decide and tournaments could start being based around mods. We'd get the gameplay "we" want, such as the micro recommendations from the likes of Lalush, Nony, Failing, etc.
I want more interesting gameplay to watch. I don't care as much in terms of "growing SC2 as an esport", but I want to get excited again about watching a JaeDong v. Stork type match. I don't watch much SC2 anymore, although I'm optimistic that the gameplay can get better by the LotV expansion, or within a couple years after that.

If i were to play sc2 again it would be custom games with a little bit of unranked ladder.
|
I think most of this is coming

What I would like to see is a change in the team multiplayer matchup. Atm, 3v3 and 4v4 are just silly. Monobattles are the main way people seem to enjoy big team battles.
IMO: in these game modes, the income and supply cap are too high. 3v3 and 4v4 are just really poor game modes. When I think of a team strategy game, I think of dota/league/hon not starcraft and a lot of people enjoy playing with friends.
basically, I'd like to see big team battles like 3v3 and 4v4 slowed down somehow so that they aren't the cheese mosh pit that they are today.

Unranked ladder, multiplayer replay watching, clan system, spectate MLG ipl etc from the client (you're in the game, just like CS). Also the game is pretty boring at the moment and I realised that you can play other games casually and still be very good.
|
as an admin of tournaments and someone who likes to cast with people on occasion, the game really needs a way to watch replays with other people
basically it would be like creating a lobby for a custom game, but instead of a map, it would be for a particular replay. then inivte the players you want to obs and go.

One thing I don't see anyone paying attention to (other than to complain about it) is the overall quality of the 1v1 ladder map pool. It's not just that some of the maps aren't very good--it's that they never change. When everyone gets three vetoes blizzard can afford to be a bit more adventurous. Why not hold a community mapmaking contest every season and put the top three vote-getters in the pool? Both the contest and the increased variety might renew casual interest in 1v1. Also I can't see how this would be much work on their part. One can only play so many games on ohana, daybreak, and cloud kingdom.

i think if they have unranked games they could add in super casual friendly mode with things like not just showing the worker count but allowing players to put it onto autobuild, having more minerals and gas on each harvest to speed things up, warnings before supply blocks, more starting workers
i have at least two friends that could play the game in that mode but are forever bronze in the real game, but they can have fun with easy mode and it wouldnt hurt anyone

Remove or redesign infestors. I don't think people understand how bad they are for the game.
|
I've always only watched esports. Could care less about casual features. I wish they'd take the mappool + balance more serious or do an overhaul. Atm TvT is really the only matchup I consider really good.

With these changes SC2 would be dead in 1 Week.

bump the supply up from 200 to 250 or 300.
compared to BW there are way more workers, and units cost more supply.
|
I would like to see frequent automated tournaments on bnet like wc3 had, and separate 1v1 ladder ratings for each race!
